Polymer electrolyte membrane platinum-based catalysts

Electro-catalysts which have various metal contents have been applied to the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell(PEMFC). For the PEMFCs, Pt based noble metals have been widely used. In case the pure hydrogen is supplied as anode fuel, the platinum only electrocatalysts show the best activity in PEMFC. But the severe activity degradation can occur even by ppm level CO containing fuels, i.e. hydrocarbon reformates[l-3]. To enhance the resistivity to the CO poison of electro-catalysts, various kinds of alloy catalysts have been suggested. Among them, Pt-Ru alloy catalyst has been considered one of the best catalyst in the aspect of CO tolerance[l-3]. [Pg.637]

Let us consider the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) that occurs in the cathode of the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), in an acidic environment. Although a variety of ORR mechanisms have been proposed, the four-electron pathway is primarily used to characterize the behavior of this reaction at a platinum electrode or a glassy carbon electrode coated with a platinum-based catalyst. The overall reaction is given by... [Pg.420]

For polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) applications, platinum and platinum-based alloy materials have been the most extensively investigated as catalysts for the electrocatalytic reduction of oxygen. A number of factors can influence the performance of Pt-based cathodic electrocatalysts in fuel cell applications, including (i) the method of Pt/C electrocatalyst preparation, (ii) R particle size, (iii) activation process, (iv) wetting of electrode structure, (v) PTFE content in the electrode, and the (vi) surface properties of the carbon support, among others. ... [Pg.36]

State-of-the-art catalyst in low and intermediate temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) is a powdered material consisting of platinum nanoparticles between 1 and 5nm in size that are supported—preferably in high dispersion—on a carbon-based support. [Pg.271]
